This book provides a fascinating, detailed account of the family background and social context in which the writer's eating disorder developed and manifested. However, this book covers much more than an account of the sufferer's lengthy struggle with anorexia nervosa and its many effects. The book is about the author's lifelong work to recover, and to understand the illness from a psychological and spiritual perspective. It also includes broader discussion of related social and ecological matters.
Ruth White: Transpersonal psychologist, spiritual teacher and guide. Soren Kiirkegaard, the philosopher said: 'Life must be lived forward but it can only be understood backwards.' Socrates said: 'The unexamined life is not worth living.' Jacqueline kept going forward with her life, despite the exigencies of her condition, and in this book she looks back on it all in order to understand it. She examines it in order to bring meaning to it. Jacqueline is a gifted person: a healer, musician, a keen observer of life, and committed to spiritual growth and a love of all that constitutes the essence of earth. The book is completely self-revealing, and because of that I believe that it will be of great help to others. Kenneth Clark MA, DCP, Member of BMA This is a life story from which professionals could well gain insights. People interested in unusual life struggles and life experiences will find this book engaging. Those with eating disorders may well find it particularly absorbing.
